Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a comprehensive history of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At first glance, the pandemic struck as a natural disaster, with the sudden emergence of a virus as a major threat from outside. However, the pandemic has a history. SARS-COV-2 arrived in a world that was already very much focused on viruses, health, and longevity, and in which the fear of epidemics had already led to the mobilization of knowledge, technology, and a wide range of institutions to prepare us. The book develops the argument that these pre-existing structures and sensitivities have to a large extent determined the political and other reactions to the SARS-COV-2 virus and how the debates on the measures to halt its circulation have unfolded.
